About Schwarz Opticians
Schwarz opticians have been providing optical care since 1864 when Anton Schwarz established an optician shop in Holywell.
Francis Schwarz established F A Schwarz Opticians in King Street, Wrexham in xxxx, before moving to Charles Street in 1988. Our building dates back to 1627 and was once the Hat Inn during the 19th century.
David Clacher acquired the practice in 1999 and has since been joined by Alistair Brown who now runs the practice.
Today Schwarz Optometrist is a large independent optical practice providing expert clinical care and a friendly, professional service.
We provide eye examinations and contact lens care, as well as clinical care through the Wales eyecare service; providing triage for the hospital eye department, glaucoma co-management and Low vision services.
With a team of four optometrists and five dispensing and support staff we aim to provide unrushed personal care in a beautiful environment.
We have the largest spectacle range in the area, so please feel free to drop in for a browse.
